Nothing gets me more excited than cauliflower. From the cruciferous family, it’s jam-packed full of special compounds called glucosinolates which are considered cancer-protective and detoxifying.
However, this humble veggie needs a lot of TLC and plenty of spices to take it from ordinary to extraordinary. In this recipe I’ve married this super veggie with fresh corn, a well-loved summer starch. The flavors are enhanced with onions, garlic, chives, basil and lime. This dish is a cinch to make and almost impossible to mess up.
Want to speed up the process? Sauté the cauliflower instead of roasting. But a word of caution on taking this shortcut: you do sacrifice on flavor. But hey, more time to get outside in the sun. Enjoy it.
